Earlier quoted context omitted.

I suspect that main reason is related with payment method. I am non-us associate. I have started with gift card payment it well good then I have changed to cheque payment method. I have waited long but no payment I have received. I have called amazon they said me there is problem and they will send it again. I have waited long when I contact them they said me it is already on the way then few weeks later they termina…

Sounds unfair and probably happened to other small businesses. I'd love to read a blog post about your experience with amazon affiliates, and I also think it'll help with getting those cheques amazon owes you.

Thanks for the feedback. Sadly Amazon strongly stated they will not pay it back as I wrote it about here https://hackernoon.com/dont-put-all-your-eggs-in-one-basket-...

Small ecommerce site selling fidget spinners. It's sold $4k worth of fidget spinners in the past 2 months. Hosting costs $10/mo Shipping & support take about 5 to 10 hours total per month.

Are you using Shopify? Drop shipping?

Custom Woocommerce implementation on Wordpress. Custom plugins for automating things such as shipping labels, packing slips, etc. Hosted on DigitalOcean.

No drop shipping. We spend about 20 to 30 minutes per week packing and shipping inventory from our garage.

I have a portfolio of Wordpress themes on Themeforest, it started as a side project and I still don't dedicate much time to it but it makes around $10,000-$12,000 per month in revenue. The only expenses are hosting (150$/m) and support person ($700/month).

I'd be interested to know how many themes you have!

I built https://freelancedevleads.com/ with the aim of promoting it to developers looking for freelance work and also creating revenue by offering paid posts. Holds little interest for me right now, and I haven't touched it for months. Happy to listen to offers - email in profile.

Hi, I'd love to chat but your email is not in your profile :)

I built 'h34t' - shows a realtime heatmap of where people are in the city (search iTunes Store for it). Snapchat just paid $300 million for the same functionality. They could've bought it from me for a lot less ;)

How do you do it?
